NC-v4 IPc1:Integrative process

Water Budget Analysis

Hi all,

I need clarification regarding process water in our project. Our project is entirely unconditioned space, and there is no water needed for our process. We have a diesel generator with cooling towers that primarily serve to maintain the generator's performance. Can I consider the cooling tower makeup water as part of the process water demand in the water budget analysis for the Integrative Process?

Thank you

Per definition it does fall into process water category..
What I wonder is, are water budget calculations neccessary in Integrative process? The worksheet requires baseline assumptions, so we mostly "assume" the amount needed based on the possible number of occupants.

In this scenario, I think that the makeup water for the cooling tower also be considered as part of the overall water demand for this project. However, I'm not entirely sure where to account for this water demand. Can you please explain this scenario?
